Work, study and testimony

The work here is picking up. We came across a
less active guy and we left the lesson with a brother hug and he
read us his testimony, it was awesome and the spirit was so strong. He just finds
it hard to get to church because his work takes up so much time so he wants to
spend his spare time with family, so we are praying that their hearts will be softened and
that they will come to church together. We are going to help him come to church. We've also been finding some good potential members and the teaching of one
investigator is going well. I hope she comes to church next week and we may be
able to set a date for the March miracle, her name is Vidie and she's so nice,
hopefully we can get her son to join in with the lessons too. There is a lot we
are doing, we want to try and mix up our method of finding as we've been doing
a lot of tracting (i.e. knocking on doors to speak to people) recently and we've got better at GQing ('Golden Questions' - i.e. What do you know about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Would you like to know more?) people on the way to
appointments. It's just a little frustrating sometimes when we have to bike 20
minutes into our area and we don't see any people to GQ on the way.

I
am enjoying my studies I found a scripture in 1 Chronicles 29:29, it talks about the reign of David being written in books not found in
the Bible today. Many people do not realise really how many scriptural writings
there are in the world. Why would God not speak to his children in other parts
of the world than what we know as the Holy Land? I solemnly testify that the
Book of Mormon is truly another testament of Jesus Christ and that it is
inspired scripture for our time, it will never be discredited by the workings of
men because it's writings are divine in origin and as Moroni instructs all those
who pray for a knowledge of it's truthfulness, with real intent and a faith in Christ will receive. Christ really did save us of our sins when he performed the
Atonement and we can be cleansed through obedience to the Laws and Ordinances of
the Gospel. In the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
